The local customs and customs of the Dai people and the popular Hinayana Buddhism in Southeast Asia, the two elements are mixed with each other and the tonality produced in the tropical rainforest is unique and scarce, becoming a wonderful scene to promote youth and beauty. Xishuangbanna has naturally become a fantasy space.

As a result, young ladies from all over the country flocked to them.

Naturally, photo shooting has unexpectedly become the most profitable industry in Xishuangbanna's skyrocketing consumption chain after the epidemic was lifted.

In the eyes of many outsiders, Xishuangbanna is Gaozhuang, and Gaozhuang is Xishuangbanna.

Gaozhuang was overcrowded, and the prices of everything, food, and entertainment increased, so he scolded Xishuangbanna.

However, once you walk out of Gaozhuang and walk around Jinghong City and even surrounding areas, you will find that Gaozhuang is just a hairpin in Xishuangbanna's gorgeous makeup.

In fact, when taking photos in Xishuangbanna, the ones that really have the most original Dai ecological style are not the online celebrity scenic spot Gaozhuang West Shuangjing, but the back garden built by the Dai king for the princess-Manting Park, and some Dai natural villages around Jinghong City, such as Manyuan Village in Menghan Town, Jinghong City, Manzhang Village in Mengyang Town, and Mandou Village in Gasa Town.

These villages are pioneer representatives of hundreds of natural villages in Xishuangbanna, with three characteristics.

First, they all strive to embrace rural tourism and highlight the traditional Dai life scenes on the basis of deliberately keeping a certain distance from commercialization. Its religious traditional Dai style hanging foot building, with common plants in tropical rainforests such as jackfruit, papaya, carambola, avocado, plantain and various hanging blue flowers planted in front and behind the houses, have become the prospects and main body for tourists to check in and take photos.

The second is that every village and temple have a village center. Temple buildings have their own characteristics and will never be repeated. The heart of the village is not the geographical center of the village, but the soul of the village. The entire village is basically a three-sided dam area backed by a hill. The mountain is a dense tropical rainforest dominated by rubber trees.

Third, they are relatively far away from the urban area of Jinghong. There are no shuttle buses or public transportation, only self-driving.
These Dai villages with their own characteristics around Jinghong City have become the best natural open-air studios for photo shooting. The Manhana Ancient Village, which is closest to Jinghong City and located in Xishuangbanna International Tourist Resort, has become the first choice-first, it is closest, second, it is free, and third, the most important, because it is the least urbanized out-of-print Dai ancient village in Mannongfeng Jiuzhai in Jinghong City-modern and ancient shake hands here perfectly-its neighbors. The first is the Xishuangbanna Interstate Hotel, and the second is the top 1 real estate company of state-owned and private enterprises. Their newly built resort villas and high-rise communities surround the village like a fence.

The ancient Manhana Village was built in 780 AD, when its name was still Mansage. In 823 AD, Mansaga moved to the foot of what is now Nanlian Mountain and changed its name to Manhena. Man, Zhaizi, He, Shangshang or Shangshang, Na, Tian. Dai language means village above a field. Manhana is adjacent to Xuanwei Street, built during the heyday of Mengle Palace. Its villagers have made Dai pottery and cigarette holders and other handicrafts for Xuanwei lords since ancient times. Therefore, the production and sale of Dai pottery is a symbol that distinguishes Manhana from other Dai villages.

One of the distinctive features of Manhona's layout is different from many famous villages in Xishuangbanna. On the left and right sides of the village are five-star hotels and high-rise villas in the international tourist resort, and only the front and back belong to it. In front of it is Liusha River, a tributary of the Lancang River, and the river beach is their vegetable and melon planting base; behind it is Nanlian Mountain. The oak forests on the mountain are another property of the villagers.

Manhena launches once or twice a month, attracting countless tourists.

The difference between Manhona's stalls and Gaozhuang Xingguang Night Market is that there are no stalls for Northeastern people.

Manhona's cooking and authentic Dai barbecues always lure tourists. Manhenachu's village gate on Ronglin Avenue is far richer than many Dai natural villages, thanks to the rarity of natural villages in the city.

Manhona's rush attracted countless tourists. Men, women and old.

Manhener's rush and trading are very active.

In Manhena's rush, each stall has its own unique thing, as long as you carefully discover it.

Manhona is eager to eat delicious food regardless of the appearance of eating.

Manhona is also one of the best sources of natural materials for tourists/celebrities to send O, DY and XHS.

The opening of the Manhana Ancient Village is a natural festival for foodies.

The ancient Manhana Village is bustling, shoulder to shoulder, making it very lively.

More than 10 years ago, when Yunnan Province and Banna Prefecture were preparing to designate the Mannongfeng area of Jinghong City in Xishuangbanna as an international tourist resort, some prophetic businessmen saw the value of the buffer dam between the Manhana Ancient Village and the farmland along the Liusha River. As a result, a large number of reinforced concrete buildings with some Dai cultural elements were built up under negotiation and compromise on the respective rights and obligations of businessmen and villagers.

The real estate construction in the lower half of the picture is the basic guarantee for the Manhona villagers and the entire village to become rich together.

There is an endless stream of teams coming to Manhona to take photos every day. As soon as many well-dressed young ladies step into Manhona New Village, most of them write the regret of being deceived on their faces. But when they patiently were led through the lackluster Manhona New Village, faced with the simple charm of the ancient Manhona Village, their original face turned into a smile.

This ancient village, hidden among the tropical flowers of coconut forest travelers, banana and jackfruit, is almost entirely Dai hanging buildings. They are all two-story balustrade houses. Most of them are wooden buildings. The roofs are in the style of Xie mountain top tiles. The eaves and roofs are decorated with Dai gold, silver and magenta totems respectively. Only two or three of the most primitive Dai bamboo buildings and thatched roofs symbolically exist.

No wonder.
Seventy to eighty percent of the penthouse buildings in the ancient village of Manhana were rebuilt on the original site in the past ten years. Judging from the fact that there are cars parked on the ground floor of each family, the local villagers are relatively well-off. Most of the rich foundation comes from the sale of large areas of land on the left and right sides of the entire village. This can be seen from the fact that the heart of Manhana Village is actually located at the very edge of the village.
Who among the wealthy villagers still lives in bamboo huts that are relatively poor in blocking the wind and rain?

Stimulated by the nearly tenfold surge in prices of hotels and inns during the Spring Festival in Xishuangbanna this year, Manhena is building a lot halfway up the mountain.

After receiving a large amount of land transfer fees and forest compensation, the rebuilt Dai building can still basically maintain the traditional Dai style. This is due to its next-door neighbor, a nationally renowned tourist real estate celebrity, its layout planning and overall tone. Persuasion education. In particular, the age-old penthouse buildings in the village are not one or two alone, but exist in groups as "evidence" of the ancient village. The most rare thing is that there are still indigenous people living in these old penthouse buildings, connected with the earth and atmosphere without any trace! It is the rare "ancient" charm preserved in this village that attracts young ladies across the country who want to take photos.

The newly built wooden Dai houses in Manghena Ancient Village in recent years have been transformed into Molu inns and B & Bs under the government's policy guidance and investment in infrastructure construction. Some families have turned the ground floor into Dai restaurants, Dai pottery shops, dessert houses, clothing stores, as well as ancient wells full of cultural charm in the ancient village, specially developed traditional silver-making and brocade weaving techniques, and preserved Dai brewery and other ethnic cultures, making it a template for the construction of a new socialist countryside in Jinghong City.

As one of the most famous tourist villages in Yunnan Province, Manhona quickly became one of the free Internet celebrity attractions in Xishuangbanna after the epidemic was released.

At the entrance of the Manhana Ancient Village, such small signs abound.

Manhena Ancient Village is not only an Internet celebrity village, but also one of the cash cows for travel agencies.

Manhona has become a must-check place for tourists traveling to Xishuangbanna this year.

The reason why Manhona Ancient Village can become a banner for rural tourism in Jinghong City also benefits from its unique cultural connotation-Gunaka, which is different from other villages.

Manhana Ancient Stronghold-Gunaka.

Gunaka, Dai language means "auspicious luck".
Manhena Ancient Village also has another nickname, Xishuangbanna Gunaka Cultural Park.
Gunaka only gave Manhana Ancient Village, perhaps the blessing and blessings of the Dai king and Dai ancestors to this village that once served the Dai royal palace.

Hope?

Manhana Ancient Stronghold-Gunaka.

In Gunaka-Manhena Ancient Village, the Dai people live a simple and simple life and get along well with nature. They embrace nature, respect nature and appreciate nature, and nature also gives the most beautiful feedback...

In the ancient village of Manhena, some residential houses make B & Bs, inns and restaurants, while some residential houses specialize in raising Dai chickens.

These local breeds of chickens can fly, and many live in trees, with a maximum gross weight of about 3 kilograms. There is a monopoly on this kind of local chicken at the entrance of the village, asking for 28 yuan per catty, but usually the transaction is sold at 27 yuan per catty. The chickens bought at the entrance of the village weigh four to five kilograms. It is said that before these professional chicken farmers catch the chickens and sell them, they will keep them in captivity and feed them with feed to make them heavier and fatter-this has not been confirmed.

In the ancient village of Manhana, this villager put a public notice on a big tree next to the courtyard wall: his chicken is awakened at 35 yuan per catty. If you don't know the goods or are not willing to spend money, don't disturb it.

When I buy chickens at his house, I can't get them that day, because mature chickens can't be caught in trees during the day. They can only be caught when they return to their nests at night. After they are killed and cleaned the next morning, I will call you to pick them up (I won't give them away). I bought a hen for a hundred yuan. It was more than 3 kilograms and stewed it into soup. The soup was oil-free and the soup tasted extremely fresh, especially the taste of chicken I ate when I was a child. I finally found it here.

In Manhana Ancient Village, not only do most families have cars, but there are also many such motorcycle players.

The two gatherings every Monday have become the best reason for the three friends of Manhona villagers to gather for a meal. Many Dai dishes and Han people don't know how to eat them. They can refer to their eating methods, or ask for the names, practices and eating methods in person.
